PhysicianAssistant asked:
I was wondering if anyone can offer some advice on this. I was given a brand new Coach leather bag for Christmas. However, whenever I take it to work and it rubs against my white lab coat when I walk it leaves black stains on my lab coat. Any suggestions how to stop this from happening? Thanks!!

* Try Scotchguarding the leather bag. The protective coating may stop dye from transferring to your lab coat.
* You can soak your lab coat in a Sodium dithionite soln to remove dye transfer. The reduction properties of sodium dithionite also eliminate excess dye, residual oxide, and unintended pigments, thereby improving overall color quality.
Good Luck!!

The bag is “dry crocking” - transfering color in the absence of a moisture carrier- I would be careful using a non-coach product as this may void any warrenty etc- I think visiting the store with your lab coat and the bag and seeing what they will do- they may exchange the bag and give you some sort of compensation for your lab coat/trouble.
